Do You Think Is Right to take God out Of Our Pledge Of Allegiance?I Don't!

yes i agree.i believe when in Rome do as the romans do,its their country if you cannot comply (LEAVE) thank you...thats a very good answer to this question

Actually, 'under god' was not in the pledge of allegiance until 1954 when the knights of columbus helped lobby congress to make the change. It was thought that by adding 'under god' it would distinguish us from the communist countries of the time. It was unconstitutional then, as it is now, but that's what happens when you have intolerance infused into politics. http://www.legion.org/?section=our_flag&subsection=flag_history&content=flag_history http://www.undergodprocon.org/bin/procon/procon.cgi?database=5-A%20sub2.db&command=viewone&op=t&id=7&rnd=858.8636434094799 http://www.undergodprocon.org/pop/CompAddress.htm http://www.undergodprocon.org/pop/PledgeHistory.htm

coolseeds, Please take no offense to anything I said. I was only addressing the error you made in saying that it shouldn't be taken out because it has been that way for 200+ years, when in actuality the original pledge did not have the phrase and it wasn't imputed into the pledge until 1954. That means it hasn't been in the pledge all that long. I get tired of schools not teaching our youth the actual and factual events that went into making up our American history. Many are clueless to the fact that the original pledge was written for the sole purpose of showing national respect and patriotism to the American flag, and it was written by a spiritual christian preacher. It is also known that he reasoned not to include a religious tone to the pledge because he felt it was something that could be seen as isolating and not representative of the diversity envisioned in this country and the future of the country. It was only due to fear during the 1950's that congress was lobbied into believing we needed to take a 'godly' stance to separate ourselves from communist Soviet Union. You are right there are more things to worry about these days, and if you read my post below you will see that I don't care which version of the pledge you say, as long as they don't intolerantly deny me the right to say it the way I was taught in elementary school--the original way. I'm not an athesist either, But I also no longer subscribe to organized religion as I find the tone of today's religions to be very intolerant and hypocritical.

One more thing, I wonder how many fewer of those kids would have been killed if they had been taught to stand up and fight, instead of pray.

I am sorry that you have such bitterness inside.Thank you for your reply.

Judy have you had a college level Psychology course? I am not religious. I doubt prayer will fix global warming. However group prayer has accomplished many things. You mentioned 32 Christians being murdered? I am going to guess you are talking about the Va Tech massacre. I didn't know they were Christians. As far as religion goes humans have free will, to do as they please. (That is the religious way to explain things that go awry.) ;) Also IF we are going through revelations as described in the bible AND I were God, I wouldn't send down a beam of light to take who is going to go to heaven. I might as well put up a sign and send invitations too. I would take them in every day accidents such as the Va Tech murders. And if there is a God, it would probably do it in a similar manner. Before you attack religion you should know it. You can not doubt what you don't know.

To me we have put God in the pledge and why would we want to take him out? The ones that are fighting this are mostly the atheist, and it has been there for years so why mess with it...I see by some of the answers here that a lot of people here do not believe in god...that is so sad to me..thank you Faith for your reply..

A sign of the times dear just a sign of the times! But Praise the Lord - He will win in the long run, in the end, and we are blessed that we will be there with Him.
